I'm looking for some information on what to do in my case. I'm married to an EU national, who had a child in a non eu country previously. We thought it would be an easy process for the child to take my wifes nationality but we're still waiting for them to process the papers one year down the line. What are my options at this point... can I get Irish citizenship, I suppose after 5 years?, what about the intervening period as the non eu passport for the child will expire shortly.
